In the tradition of raunchy ski movies of the past Out Cold hits on all the classic cliches with a no attempt at innovation, but what do you really expect? Kubrick never made ski movies. I wonder if he had the sense of humor for it. The ironic dark humor of Dr Strangelove would not be appropriate for the genre. The requisite dick and fart jokes are more Kevin Smith's area, and even he has grown beyond that.
The key things required are a wacky race on snow, menacing authority figures, inept authority figures, hot chicks, booze and drugs humor, and an anti-hero who delivers in the end. All of these elements arrive on schedule, as I said not innovative, just fun.
If you are in the mood for the Pianist, watch Adrien Brody. If you are in the mood for goofy good times you could do worse than picking Out Cold.
